Bis(tetra-phenyl-phospho-nium) tris-[N-(methyl-sulfon-yl)dithio- carbimato(2-)-2 S,S′]stannate(IV)

Abstract

In the title complex, (C24H80P)2[Sn(C2H 3NO2S3)3], the SnIV atom is coordinated by three N-(methyl-sulfon-yl)dithio-carbimate bidentate ligands through the anionic S atoms in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. There is one half-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit; the complex is located on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis passing through the cation and bis-ecting one of the (non-symmetric) ligands, which appears thus disordered over two sites of equal occupancy. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C- H⋯O and C- H⋯S inter-actions contribute to the packing stabilization.
